I gave up drinking alcohol just about twenty years ago. It's amazing how many other stupid, wasteful, harmful and illegal activities I gave up at that time. Watching football on TV was one of the stupid/wasteful ones.
That being said, we will be going over to Dad's today to share a pizza, some junk food, and waste a little time watching the game. Barely know who is playing -- don't care who wins. I'm not so old that I've completely quit being stupid.

Hear hear !
I work with a few guys that are infatuated with sports,, all f-ing day,, it's all I hear.. I am so happy when things like the SB, or the world series, or the Stanley cup, or the basketball brackets, are over, because then they actually do work, instead of stand around quarter-backing last nights game.
I have seen a few actually get red in the face, arguing with each other about some coaches decision, or a referees call.
I honestly believe these guys go home, and right to the boob tube to binge-watch sportscenter, They literally have no hobbies, or life outside television.
I dumped cable, (except for the internet) about 5 years ago.. I got an antenna on my garage roof, and I get 4 "watchable" channels, ( at least until network news starts )

I'm gonna be 50 soon, someday, and only in the past couple years realized that my time here is over the 1/2-way mark , I best not waste it sitting on my arse.
